Privacy Policy

Peptide News Network (the “Site”) is operated by Biosignal Media (“we,” “us,” or “our”). This policy explains what information the Site does and does not collect. In short: the Site is a static publication that uses privacy-respecting analytics which set cookies only if you accept them, and we collect nothing else about you unless you choose to contact us or subscribe to our newsletter.

1. Cookies and analytics

The Site uses Google Analytics 4 to measure aggregate traffic — which pages are read, and roughly how many people visit. It loads with Google Consent Mode set to deny analytics storage by default, so no analytics cookies are placed until you choose to allow them. When you first visit, a banner asks whether to accept or reject cookies:

• Accept — Google Analytics sets first-party cookies (_ga and related) to distinguish repeat visits. These are used only for aggregate audience measurement; we do not use them to identify you personally, and we run no advertising cookies or third-party ad trackers.
• Reject — no analytics cookies are set and you browse cookie-free. Google Analytics may still receive a basic, cookieless signal that a page was viewed, which cannot be tied to you across visits.

You can change your choice at any time using the “Cookie preferences” link in the footer. We do not build advertising profiles of visitors, and we do not sell or rent personal information to anyone.

2. Hosting and server logs

The Site is hosted by Vercel. Like virtually all web hosts, Vercel automatically processes standard technical request data — such as IP address, browser type, and the pages requested — to serve the Site and protect it from abuse. This data is handled by Vercel as our infrastructure provider under its own privacy terms. We do not use it to identify individual visitors.

3. If you email us

If you write to us at hello@peptidenewsnetwork.com, we receive your email address and whatever you include in your message. We use that information only to read and respond to you.

4. Newsletter

We are preparing an email newsletter. If and when you subscribe, we will store the email address you provide for the sole purpose of sending you the newsletter. We will not sell or share it, every email will include an unsubscribe link, and you can ask us to delete your address at any time. Until the newsletter launches, no subscription data is collected.

5. RSS feed

The Site offers an RSS feed. Reading the feed involves no tracking on our part; your feed reader connects directly to the file.

6. Children’s privacy

The Site is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

7. Your choices and rights

Because we hold almost no personal data, there is little to request — but if you have emailed us or subscribed to the newsletter, you may ask us to tell you what we hold or to delete it. Send any such request to hello@peptidenewsnetwork.com and we will honor it promptly.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the Site changes — for example, when the newsletter launches. Changes take effect when posted, and the “Last updated” date above reflects the current version.
